PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dexter Hernandez (ranked 25019 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Bones (ranked 5127 p4p, 0 weight class). Bones has chosen Next Song by Baby Jesus as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Bobby Bones was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
